Fuoss's 93 NSX Build
- Thread starter Fuoss484
- Start date
Looks nice but what's wrong with the suspension? Looks like you have a lift kit on it with the bigger wheels!
LOL thanks. that is soon to change.
Update, Just pulled the NSX into the get work done garage. Going to start ripping into it and changing a few things up on the ole gal. Deadline is set for April 27 Castaway Critters Car Show.

No front lip
Fresh new OEM lip installed.
Would have never thought that the front OEM lip would make that much of a difference, but the front now looks alot cleaner and finished.

Installing hatch & trunk struts from GSB. Install was a breeze, and recomend them to everyone who's glass hatch does not stay up.
Both Installed.
Decided to remove the clam shell. My girl is lossing weight!
Installed the GSB trunk struts.

Since I had the glass hatch up, I decided to do a little more weight removale. I removed this fan from the engine bay that I read is not needed. I dont think the weight saving was worth the 5 minute hassle it took to remove. But its out, and might give me a little more room in the engine bay.
Going to call it a night for tonight. Did not get anything major things done, but a few small thing that needed to get done.

I don't think it was a good idea to remove the engine bay fan. It doesn't weigh much, and it could be a engine life saving last step if you ever run into a bad engine overtemp.
I hooked mine up to a switch to activate it whenever I feel like it. All I need is a decal of a small little fan and it will look like a stock-switch.

I wouldn't worry about removing the engine bay fan (it was removed on 95+ MT NSX's):

This small fan won't save your engine in case of a bad engine overtemp...

Thanks guys for the input. Got some more work done this evening on the car. Finally got both axles out.
Removed rear struts
NSX-R coolant tank cover arrived today. Big thanks to AdvansCPAP for making that happend.
Pulled the intake tube.
Was thinking I should remove the fins an leave it open. Not sure though. Maybe put the newer style mesh in?
Removed this boat anchor
And then this. It needs cleaned up a little
Then removed a second boat anchor.
How she sits tonight. She sure looks perddy

Worked on the car tonight. Removed the front suspension.
Installed front, lower and upper Lovefab bars. They were a very tight fit and build quality is spot on.
Installed Short shifter and Short shift linkage.
Cleaned up and painted an ABS pump bracket. Much better.

Digging the steering wheel and lovefab bars. Gold WP looks outstanding.
Big box of stuff showed up from Acura of Agusta, and SOS.
Since this stuff arrived I decided to pull the engine. It was pretty simple, just getting the wiring harness uncliped was a pain.
Engine soaking in degreaser for a good wash down.

Great work so far. Are you doing it all yourself?
Yes, so far I have not needed any help. Well I take that back, my older brother pulled out on the rear hubs when I was removing the two axles.
Engine all buttoned up. Plus a Big Bore throttle body and Uni air filter thanks to SOS.
Four new tail lights thanks to AdvansCPAP
New exhaust, resonatied pipes, and headers thanks to Mark at Pride.
Some new KW suspension thanks to Coz. Set to stuntmans recomendations. New OEM top hats and bushings. These will be going on later today.

Can I ask where you purchased the brakes? Im looking for the same WP kit
Bought my kit used, but I believe GT Theory sells their kit new.
Love seeing new life in another NSX! Keep up the great work!
Very nice! keep up the good work!
I searched Gt Theory, couldnt find a website or anything, if anyone has info on where I could find this brake kit, would be much appreciated. Online searches only turn up forum banter.
Any issues with the rotors? any cracks around the slots or drill holes?
